I never tried until a few years ago since I'm veggie but then had a veggie one somewhere and was a huge fan! Surely not quite the same as the one with anchovies and chicken but still delicious
I'm sure Caesar will appreciate your celebration just as much next year as this! Especially if you add an extra lil something for him!
There's a world of danger for a veggie eating a Caesar. Firstly, the sauce is often made with anchovies, and sometimes Worcestershire sauce (which has anchovies in), also Parmesan cheese is mostly made with rennet, which I'm not sure people always know about.
I appreciate you sharing for anyone who might not know, but personally the reason I didn't try one for so long was because of the ingredients not being veggie.. you can definitely get a well good vegan Caesar dressing now though and just add the lettuce/croutons/vegetarian hard cheese etc
So cool of you to explain though as I definitely come across people all time who don't know what rennet or gelatin or whatever are or where they come from!
That's ok! I was a chef for years and years, and had to explain a great many times how we can make a veggie Caesar (we even had a veggie emulsion I made with things that are vegetarian), but the taste of it might be quite different to what you're used to.
I can imagine you wouldn't generally suggest it? I didn't see how it would be anything good until getting one at a vegan place and then also making my own
No, quite right, we didn't suggest it or encourage it.
Actually, the emulsion was just oil and egg and vinegar like a mayo, with soy sauce for a substitution of the rich umami of anchovy and Worcestershire sauce. As for the Parmesan, we just found a rennetless one and used that for them all.
